‘23 CA QB Nicholaus Iamaleava (Tennessee)

[MarcoVol]

I

Yet, he'll continue to do it, while steady bobbin his damn head @ 50% completion.

Wtf does this even mean, man? Why do some of y’all hate the players on this team so much? Lol I truly don’t get it.

 

[Orange_Crush]

This off-season will be huge for him ...I mean how many of these "Offseasons" does this kid need??This is a never ending debate and both sides continue to say the same things ad nauseum.If doesnt reslly matter if ur using science or patterns or whatever bill nye the science guy crsp u spew the facts we have to date say Milton can't be a starting Sec qb.

I hope he does and blows us away but I don't think it happens unfortunately.There isn't one single shred of evidence thar says he can lead this football team into the swamp or Alabama and get us a win,if anything it's completely opposite and more likely than not he sh*ts the bed

Not sure there's any evidence Nico could this coming year either. Way to add to the ad nauseum, I guess?

 

[Ericvol2096]

Early enrollee, January classes.

Also bowl practices!

 

[JRVOL11]

is nico not playing in an all american game?

It makes him feel important, along with the constant denigration of posters he deems less knowledgeable than him, which is clearly everyone. Kinda sad.

It's not crapping the bed.
Peyton vs Florida is more crapping the bed.
Even tho Peyton had pretty decent numbers most years vs UF.

Joe Milton simply IS NOT an even decent QB.
He's far from good, and doesn't even grasp many of the small details of the position.
Foundational stuff like taking the check down , or running in open space on 3rd and short.

He's a complete momentum killer at QB.

It's astonishing how many people on here CANT SEE WHAT'S RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM.

We will not know that until next year. Let Heupel the chance to develop him. Silly to talk about it until Spring ball is over.

Or maybe they realize they’re not college football coaches and have decided to trust the staff and hope for the best for a dude who chose to come to UT when nobody else wanted to. He’s also been a huge piece in ushering in a new culture in the locker room.

Maybe it doesn’t work for him. That’s ok too. We’ll then get to see an amazing young QB.

I see this as a win-win.

Some early enrollees play an AA game and then head to campus and others go straight to work. Nico may be the latter.

Swain and Josh talked about this quite a bit today. They stated very plainly that Nico would be third simply because of the learning curve and speed difference in the game he is facing. That was assuming TJ stays.

 

[LittleVol]

Early Enrollee for sure.
He'll be on campus late December I believe.
He'll be on the team for the bowl game

In regards to actual competition between Nico and the others. Sure.

We do not however, have to wait anytime at all to acknowledge that Joe isn't it...

No you're just wrong.

Everything you've said is wrong.

There are at least 5 other posters on here that have a decent knowledge base, that have many times made me reexamine my opinion.

There's literally nothing BUT bad football by Milton yet you paint him as the automatic starter.

Then you talk about learning our style offense when Nico has played in a very similar system for 2 years posting 7,000 yards and 75 TDs.

You just don't know wtf you're talking about.
YOU.

Yeah I trust Heupel to do whats best to keep his job too

 

[Deebowbear]

Will we get a starting QB in the portal or get a back up

 

[matts42012]

Milton will start as QB1 in spring, but it will be a race. Legit competition every day to keep TJ and Nico from overtaking him. He will have to get better. Nothing but good comes from this. Spring ball will be fun

Nope. Never said any of that. Said he was serviceable, nothing more.

This is gonna sound so VolNationy, but Milton would be an insane tight end, like the way Fant was used.

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

Lintons every meal. Plenty of Red velvet cake and Nanner puddin.

What’s Linton’s?

Ive not been following your tirade and I think Joe is pedestrian too, but Heupel is no idiot and you’ll do good to prepare yourself to see Joe take the first snap 9/2/23 in Nashville. There is a mountain of history that says a veteran QB is going to allow the rookie to ease in.

I’ve been saying this too! He should have learned the position last year.

What’s Linton’s?

A restaurant in Fountain City (North Knoxville). They may have another location in West Knoxville.
Good ole southern comfort food guaranteed to pounds on your stomach and a smile on your face.

 

[engineerVOL]

What’s Linton’s?

A great joint in Fountain City that serves delicious burger and fries and red velvet cake. I’m sure there are other great items but it’s all I ever ordered when I was there.

Better than Louie's?

Never had Louie’s

I ate at Louie’s Wednesday while in town for Thanksgiving. I like Louie’s and Littons. Littons has best desserts.

I know what Litton’s is. I asked you what Linton’s is.
